Dione was so helpful during my deferred MBA application process. I contacted her about 1-1.5 weeks before my applications were due, and she was incredibly detailed and quick in her feedback. What I loved most about Dione was that she didn't alter my story -- instead, she helped me shape my narrative into a stronger version of itself. She is incredibly insightful and knowledgeable about the various schools and their processes, and I cannot recommend her enough. In many ways, my profile was quite ordinary -- IB/consulting after graduating from an undergraduate state school, GMAT below GSB's median, and an average background (demographics, upbringing, etc...). However, through Dione's incredible advice and honesty, I was able to shape a narrative which led to my acceptance into GSB's deferred MBA program! I am so thrilled and owe much of my success to Dione's help. She is definitely THE consultant to work with, especially considering her admissions board experience. As an anecdote, before working with Dione, I previously booked 1 hour with a student consultant who was admitted into GSB. The difference in value and insight between the student consultant and Dione (who has admissions experience) was night and day. Definitely go with Dione!

I would highly recommended Ben to anyone considering taking the GMAT. Truly a great person and coach! Achieved my target score within two weeks of working together!

I worked with Andrew at the last minute to ask for resume & essay reviews and editing. It was a Saturday, but he finished editing and reviewing my essays right away and scheduled calls. I received one interview from an M7 school now, and I am waiting for more. In conclusion, Andrew is for sure a great mentor to work with!

Marie is an amazing and very experienced tutor! I came to her when I needed a lot of work on math in an extremely short amount of time, and Marie provided all the necessary resources to succeed and committed all of her time and effort to helping me. I didn't think reaching my goal was possible, but I did and improved my score by 70 points in a week (only from the math).

I came into the process somewhat skeptical of the value a coach could provide; but Sachin's perspective and tactical coaching proved to be well-worth both the time and money invested, in my opinion. He helped me 1) determine that I even had a shot based on my resume and scores + provided realistic odds of getting into the various tiers of schools, 2) identify the weaker points of my application so that I could bolster them, 3) identify the right recommenders, 4) validate my thinking about the right experiences to highlight throughout my essays and resume and 6) prepare for my interviews. With him as my guide, I felt supported and confident that I was truly putting my best foot forward through the admissions process. Would highly recommend.

Debby has an unmatched knowledge and understanding of the graduate school admissions process. She is prompt, professional, and detail-focused in every aspect of her craft. As a professional with an unpredictable day-to-day working schedule, Debby always showed flexibility in her availability. I truly felt as if Debby was invested in my success as a graduate school applicant. If you are contemplating graduate school admissions, I would highly recommend working with Debby!

Allie was amazing to work with! She was so knowledgeable about the schools I was applying to and really helped me fine tune my narrative prior to submitting. I highly recommend working with her!

Zsika has been an invaluable asset to my MBA application journey. With his guidance, I was able to unearth compelling aspects of my story that I never thought about myself. His editing skills are nothing short of impressive, as he transforms my essays into powerful and impactful pieces. He makes every sentence count. I highly recommend Zsika to anyone seeking an exceptional coach!

I worked with Allie with a comprehensive package for my deferred MBA application. I knew she is an excellent coach from our very first call. We worked on resume, recommendation letter, and essays. She is especially insightful when we were brainstorming ideas for essays to speak to my story. Allie is also super encouraging throughout the application process. I would highly recommend working with Allie!

Steven coached me on MBA interviews and I yielded great results. I couldn’t have built this confidence in interviewing without him. I started with a 1:1 personalized one-pager where Steven learned all my stories and helped me form theme(s). Then I had specific interviews prep sessions with him for 3 schools (Darden, Booth, Kellogg) where I managed to build my confidence and transfer those interview skills to get offers from not only those 3, but also 7 other schools including Stanford. What set Steven apart and make him a great coach are several things: 1) While being extremely knowledgeable and smart, he is so friendly and personable, which eased my nerves; 2) he listened well to my stories and used his robust creativity and analytical ability to coach me on transforming “good” answers to “great” answers. I was AMAZED every time he spoke/gave feedbacks; 3) he is very responsive and attentive. After each mock interview, he’d send me a summary on key takeaways and recordings. Steven also answered my questions and emails promptly within hours; 4) in this application journey, you need a coach who believes in you. He was among a few very empathetic coaches who reassured me on my not-so-great GMAT score and re-focused me on my strengths. It was a pleasure working with Steven.
